I am just learning dreamweaver and I have designed my webpages but I cannot figure out how to upload them to the internet. I'm thinking my local or my remote information is incorrect.
from my remote information:
Access: FTP
FTP host: web.qx.net
Host Directory:
Login: rjneuzel (which is my user name)
Password: ***** (my password)

from my local information:
HTTP address: http://web.qx.net/rjneuzel

Any help anyone could provide to me would be greatly appriciated

thanks,
Senna

try putting the "rjneuzel" in the "host directory" field

everything else look right to me.

also, if you copied and pasted the password into the field, make sure you didn't have a leading or trailing "space"

Thanks tornupinside I tried that but it still doesn't work. I keep getting an error that says "An FTP error occurred - cannot put (file name) access is denied"

Any other ideas??

Thanks for your reply

hmmm, before you can "put" a file....you have to be connected.

I am getting a green light. I contacted there customer support and the guy wasn't very helpful.
When I connected it brought down all the remote folder from other people who have websites. Of course I can't access them. The support guy said there is a file at the end of the long list call index.htmAU3bDycb}s he said I need to replace that file with a file on my local site called index.htm(not that specific name but pretty close. He just said replace the index file on the remote with an index file on the local). I don't have a file called index on my site. Am I suppose to change my mainpage to index.html?
I'm not sure how to make the switch from changing the remote name to the local name.
I know this is confusing but I'm confused. I'm pretty new to this whole website thing anyway so I'm easily confused.

I hope this makes sence. Any help you could provide me would really help.
Thanks,
Senna

you'd maybe prefer to use a stand alone ftp program instead
easier to use, i'd recommend wsftp

ok every server needs an index page so that if you call a folder
so set your home page to index.html, index.htm

I have downloaded ws_ftp but I am not sure how to use it.
Would you mind giving me step-step instructions?
Also, Were you saying that I need to make my mainpage file(the page that pops up first) called index or were you saying my folder.
The way I currently have it is my folder is C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\Website\ with my mainpage called "mainpage". I have changed that page to index.html
Sorry for all the questions but I have spend a little time designing my page but not being able to display it is frustrating.

Thanks again,

Senna
